We had to change rooms, we were only booked for two nights because the hostel was meant to be full. They had cancellation though so we can stay two more nights until Sunday and we even get to move to a double with private bathroom.

A recommendation from the Walking Tour was to take a short trip on a lancha around the harbor. The lanchas charge 3,000 pesos per person and leave once there is maybe 12 to 15 people on the boat. It didn't take too long for the boat to fill up and we were soon weaving our way between the dozens of boats in the harbor. The size of the boats in and around the harbor varies drastically from rowing boats to container ships. There were some huge sea lions basking on the marker buoys designating the shipping lanes. Out in the bay, there was a great view of Valpo and the hills. It's a very colorful city with the houses painted brightly in leftover boat paint. On the way back to the harbor we went past the navel dock, which had quite a few boats tied up. We then went up close to a container ship that was being unloaded and only then we could appreciate how immense they actually are.

We met Carlee and Andy at Alta Mira brewery for a pre-lunch drink, because we knew they would want to taste the beers too. We went to La Tapa de Madrid for lunch, which had a Spanish menu del dia of gaspacho soup and mixed paella finished off with ice cream. There was even a large glass of red wine included in the price. The food was exceptionally good and served by a friendly waitress.

After lunch we took the metro to the bus station to buy tickets to Pucon. There were only 5 cama seats left on the bus for Sunday evening so we snapped up four of them on the spot. It's going to be a 12 hour journey to Pucon so a big seat is needed for the overnight trip.

The Valpo Newsletter had advertised the bar Muelle Baron as the ideal place to have a drink and watch the sun set. It wasn't the plushest of bars, in fact it was quite the opposite, but we had a beer on the pier watching the sun drop towards the ocean.

There was supposed to be a wine festival event near the pier, but we couldn't get any more information about it even from the security guards at the building so we headed home. We took the 612 bus back, which went up into the hills and along Alemania Street instead of straight along the waterfront so we got another good view of the bay and town but this time at sunset.
